Here’s what we know so far about the victims of the Westminster attack

At least four people were killed and 20 were injured in the Westminster attack on Wednesday.

The suspected attacker, the police officer he stabbed inside the grounds of Parliament, and two other people were killed.

Among the people injured during the attack are Edge Hill University students  Owen Lambert, who needed stitches to a head wound, and Travis Frain.

“They had just actually finished their session, were leaving the Parliament building and in the Westminster Bridge area where we understand … they were involved in the incident,” Dr. John Cater, Vice Chancellor of Edge Hill University, told BBC North West Tonight, according to the Guardian.

“We understand that two students have been taken to hospital but as walking wounded – one with a head wound and one with a wrist injury. There are two other students who have minor injuries who are with police and acting as witnesses,” Cater added.

Three of the other people that were hit by the car were French teenagers from a school in Brittany. One of the pupils from the group told French newspaper Ouest France that three boys from his school were hit by the car.

Pauline Cranmer of the London Ambulance Service told the Guardian that 12 patients were treated for serious injuries and taken to hospital, and eight others were treated for less serious injuries.

The Metropolitan Police are currently treating the incidents as terrorist attacks.
